Celebrate Christmas at Tweed Heads and Kingscliff

Trowel cements link to Museum’s historyA trowel gifted to Mayor Alderman Arthur E Budd in 1924 has been handed over to Murwillumbah’s Tweed Regional Museum, marking milestones for a number of civic buildings in the Tweed.

The silver ceremonial trowel is engraved ‘Presented to Alderman Arthur E Budd (Mayor) on the occasion of his laying the foundation stone of the new Council Chambers Murwillumbah on 17 September 1924’.

The Council Chambers referred to in the inscription is now the NSW Government Offices at the corner of Main Street and Queensland Road in Murwillumbah.

This month also signifies 100 years since the original Shire Hall, which is now home to Tweed Regional Museum on Queensland Road, held its first Council meeting.

The trowel was generously donated to the Museum by Wally and Dorothy Budd on behalf of the Budd family, and was presented to

Mayor Katie Milne today by Peter and Dorothy Budd.

“Wally and I are cousins, so Mayor Arthur Budd is our common paternal grandfather,” Peter Budd said.

“He was a truly remarkable man, largely self-educated but with extraordinary common sense, initiative, vision and energy, qualities that brought success in extremely diverse fields; timber getter to State Parliament and many careers in between.”

Tweed Regional Museum Director Judy Kean said she was delighted when Mrs Budd offered to donate the trowel.

“The offer coincided with a significant anniversary of another civic building, the original 1915 Shire Hall, which is now home to Tweed Regional Museum,” Ms Kean said.

“This month marks 100 years since the building hosted its first Council meeting, so these two buildings mark important phases in the civic life of the Tweed.”

Relatives of the late Mayor Arthur E Budd, Peter Budd and Dorothy Budd, hand over the ceremonial trowel to Museum Director Judy Kean.

IN BRIEF

Surveys - have your sayLess than a fortnight remains to participate in community surveys for the Tweed Sustainable Agriculture Strategy and the Open Space Strategy.

The sustainable agriculture strategy seeks to identify the health and sustainability of farming areas, the main threats to farm viability and opportunities to strengthen connections between producers and local consumers.

Community members can complete the online survey at yoursaytweed.com.au/sustainableagriculture before 11 December. Printed versions of the survey are available at Council’s Murwillumbah and Tweed Heads offices.

Feedback is needed on the Open Space Strategy to guide its priorities to better meet the community’s needs for open space, which includes parks, sportsgrounds, natural areas, foreshore areas and paths for walking and cycling.

Residents can provide their feedback by completing an online Open Space Survey and a Playground Survey at yoursaytweed.com.au/OpenSpace until 11 December.

YOUR WATER METER REMINDER

Recent scenario: Someone plants a tree near a council-owned manhole on their property. The tree roots infiltrate the manhole, thrive on the food and water available there, work their way up the mains and choke the pipes. Later, the system is fully blocked and overflows, flooding the neighbour’s house with raw sewerage. Council clears the blockage, cleans the neighbour’s house and yard and pays for the replacement of floor coverings. Council is called to task by the neighbour via the media and asked ‘how this could happen?’ The answer follows:

Council manholes are located where the sewer network changes direction or where two sewers meet. They are regularly located on private property.

Regardless of where they are located or whether there is a sewer easement on the property, Council does not allow trees to be planted near manholes as it needs clear access to these at all times. It also does not allow residents to fill over them, put gardens on them, lay turf over them, sit a large pot containing a tree on them or build anything over them.

“Not only is it illegal to block a manhole but it also defies common sense,” Senior Engineer Water and Wastewater Peter Haywood said. “Manholes are the access points to the sewer system for Council to investigate and fix problems.

“On average Council inspects every manhole once every five years. If there is not clear access to the manhole, Council will serve notice on the resident to remove the obstacles and provide clear access within a set period. If the resident fails to do this, Council can remove the obstacles and bill the resident to recover the costs.

“The rule of thumb is don’t plant or build anything near a manhole or on an easement that can’t be easily removed by hand. Some small shrubs and plants are okay but this is dependent on type. The kid’s cubbyhouse, a fixed garden shed or a tree are not okay.”

If Council has to remove anything to get access to a manhole, it does not replace that obstacle.

Anyone concerned about what they have built or are growing near a manhole on their property is encouraged to call Council on (02) 6670 2400 for advice.

The root cause of the blocked sewer

Right: Manholes are Council’s access points to its sewer system. Currently Council inspector Ian Barter is visiting private properties to look for those points where water is getting into the sewer system.

Tweed Local Environmental Plan 2014 – Draft Amendment No. 18PP15/0006 for part of Lot 1 DP 100121 at Philip Parade,

Tweed Heads South

On 5 November 2015, Council resolved to publicly exhibit Planning Proposal PP15/0006, for land adjoining River Retreat Caravan Park, being part of Lot 1 DP 100121 at Philip Parade, Tweed Heads South.

The purpose of the Planning Proposal is to explain the intention of, and provide justification for amendment to the Tweed Local Environmental Plan 2014 (draft Amendment No 18), which seeks to permit camping grounds on the subject site through inclusion to Schedule 1 Additional Permitted Uses.

Whilst the land subject to this Planning Proposal is part of a residential property zoned R2 Low Density Residential, it is currently leased by adjoining River Retreat Caravan Park. The land is not developed and is utilised as an area for overflow of campervans and tents during peak holiday seasons. As such, the intended outcome of this Planning Proposal is to retain the current form of land use on the subject site.

You are invited to view the planning proposal and supporting material on public exhibition from Wednesday 2 December to Friday 18 December 2015 at the following locations:

• Council’s offices at Murwillumbah and Tweed Heads from 8.30am to 4.15pm weekdays and

• Council’s website www.tweed.nsw.gov.au, through the link ‘What’s On Exhibition’.

How can I comment on the planning proposal?

Submissions on the content of the Planning Proposal must be made in writing, by post or email, and received by Council no later than close of business on Friday 18 December 2015. Where a submission is made by way of objection, the grounds of the objection must be specified.

It should also be noted that Council has adopted a policy whereby, on request any submission including identifying particulars will be made public. Council will give consideration to the “Public Interest” and requests for confidentiality by submitters in determining access to submission letters. However, the provisions of the Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009 - GIPAA may result in confidential submissions being released to an applicant.

PUBLIC EXHIBITION

Council’s Bray Park Treatment Plant won kudos from the international water technologies community as ‘how a water treatment plant should be’ when more than 45 operators from around the Asia-Pacific visited the Tweed last month.

The visit to the plant was part of Canadian-based GE Water’s Asia Pacific User’s Group Conference 2015.

Council uses the company’s membrane technology at Bray Park and was heartened by the positive comments of the water treatment industry leaders.

Conference organiser Sean Cohen, who represents GE Power and Water in Australia, thanked Treatment Engineer Marty Hancock for the opportunity to tour the Bray Park facility, saying it showcased ‘a tremendously well run GE membrane facility and an incredibly effective team’.

“It’s a pleasure and a privilege to see such enthusiasm and vigour in bringing GE technology to life. The Bray Park team truly is an asset to the community,” Mr Cohen said.

Bray Park wins international praise

Marty Hancock hosts the visit of the international water treatment leaders to Bray Park.

Learn-to-swim lessons at the Tweed Regional Aquatic Centres (TRAC) have reached a record high, topping 1000 lessons each week, which is very reassuring as Tweed Shire heads into summer, according to TRAC Aquatic Programs Supervisor Jeff Collier.

“A constant rise in the number of learn to swim bookings, increasing by 12 per cent since last year and doubling since 2011, shows increasing awareness among parents to ensure their children are competent around water,” Mr Collier said.

“This is very reassuring as we head into the warmer months and children spend more time in and around swimming pools, creeks and other water bodies. However, we can never be complacent because accidental childhood drowning still claims more young lives than any other trauma.”

He said teaching children to swim and water safety skills provided another layer of protection, but should never be substituted for proper supervision and barriers.

TRAC will conduct a series of intensive five-day learn-to-swim classes in January. For bookings and details contact TRAC on (02) 6670 2750.

Rising learn to swim numbers a positive sign for safer summer

Tweed Local Environmental Plan 2014 – Amendment No. 17PP 15/0005 regulating use of dwellings for short term rental

accommodation

On 6 August 2015, Council resolved to publicly exhibit Planning Proposal PP 15/0005 (Amendment No. 17 to the Tweed Local Environmental Plan (LEP) 2014) regulating short-term rental accommodation in the Tweed Shire area.

The intended outcome of this Planning Proposal is to recognise and permit short-term rental accommodation as a land use within the Tweed LEP 2014, in order to:

(i) Enable the use of existing dwellings for short-term rental accommodation;

(ii) Prescribe the circumstances where development consent is required for the use of existing dwellings for holiday rental accommodation;

(iii) Improve certainty for short-term rental accommodation operation for owners, guests, neighbours and the community;

(iv) Provide a regulatory framework that can mitigate the impacts of holiday rentals on the neighbourhood; and

(v) Provide a regulatory framework that ensures Council can effectively respond to holiday rental complaints.

Currently, short-term holiday letting is not adequately recognised and regulated under the planning system in NSW. Specifically, under the Tweed LEP 2014 commercial rental of dwellings is not defined as a standalone land use and as such it is by default prohibited in most areas of the Shire. The need to amend a local environmental plan in order to define and regulate short-term rental accommodation has been identified and acted upon by a number of councils in New South Wales, and has a State-wide context.

You are invited to view the Planning Proposal and associated draft Policy for Short-term Rental Accommodation on public exhibition from Wednesday 2 December 2015 to Friday 5 February 2016 at the following locations:

• Council’s offices at Murwillumbah and Tweed Heads from 8.30am to 4.15pm weekdays; and

• Council’s website www.tweed.nsw.gov.au, through the link ‘What’s On Exhibition’.

Council will be conducting community information sessions in January 2016 to further explain the information. The details of the sessions will be provided in future issues of the Tweed Link.

Submissions must be made in writing, received no later than Friday 5 February 2016 and should be addressed as follows:General ManagerStrategic Planning and Urban DesignPlanning Proposal PP15/0005 for Short Term Rental AccommodationTweed Shire CouncilPO Box 816, MURWILLUMBAH NSW 2484Email submissions can be sent to tsc@tweed.nsw.gov.au.

Where a submission is made by way of objection, the grounds of the objection must be specified.

Council has not sought plan making delegations in respect of the draft Planning Proposal.

It should also be noted that Council has adopted a policy whereby, on request any submission including identifying particulars will be made public. Council will give consideration to the “Public Interest” and requests for confidentiality by submitters in determining access to submission letters. However, the provisions of the Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009 - GIPAA may result in confidential submissions being released to an applicant.For further information contact the Strategic Planning and Urban Design Unit on (02) 6670 2503.
